Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -But here on Earth, nitrogen is a fairly inert gas at room temperature and is the most abundant element in Earth’s atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -The other primary reason is that, unlike oxygen, nitrogen is very stable in the atmosphere and is not involved to a great extent in chemical reactions that occur there. Thus, over geological time, it has built up in the atmosphere to a much greater extent than oxygen.
